Product Data

Perfecto XPG 32
Premium low varnish turbine oil

Description
Castrol Perfecto XPG 32 is formulated from unique highly refined base oils coupled with complex additive technology to
provide exceptional resistance to the formation of insoluble degradation products that ultimately deposit out as varnish,
however without compromise to its anti-wear performance

Application
Perfecto XPG 32 is primarily intended for the lubrication of highly loaded industrial gas turbines whether on base load or
intermittent running where high local temperatures during operation and the heat soaking period during run down are
experienced.

Perfecto XPG 32 possess the requisite air release, foaming and water separation properties for steam turbines making
them suitable for gas and steam turbines in single train sharing a common oil reservoir.

Perfecto XPG 32 meets or exceeds the requirements of

BS 489 1999
DIN 51515 Part 1( L-TD) & Part 2
General Electric GEK
GEK 32568G H & J
GEK 101941A
GEK 107395A
GEK 28143A
46506E
Alstom HGTD 90117 V
Siemens TLV 9013 04 & 05

Advantages
Excellent thermal / oxidation stability even under extremes of thermal stress
Good water separation and corrosion inhibition performance
Excellent filterability minimising the possibility of additive removal even under ultra-fine filtration and the presence
of moisture
Well proven in high performance gas turbines with extensive field experience

 Storage
All packages should be stored under cover. Where outside storage is unavoidable drums should be laid horizontally to
avoid the possible ingress of water and the obliteration of drum markings. Products should not be stored above 600C,
exposed to hot sun or freezing conditions.
